Birds of Prey #79

Three bold figures dominate Ed Benes's cover for this April 2005 installment: Black Canary crouches in the foreground in her black leather costume, while Thorn — in striking green — perches atop a motorcycle behind her, and Huntress stands ready at right in her signature purple-and-black. The cover tagline "Climb Aboard with Thorn" signals that this new addition to the team is very much front and center as Gail Simone's "Hero Hunters" arc reaches its fourth chapter. It's a confident, visually charged snapshot of DC's premier all-female team in fine 2005 form.
